Fri, 31 May 2013 16:03:13 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2147416#comment-2567170It is really ironic how everyone can place judge, give diagnosis and put down another person they know nothing about it really shows how ignorant you truly are and there is no doubt about that diagnosis. Everything Titus has he earned no one gave it to him except His God given talent, including his degree. I would appreciate if EVERYONE RESPECTED THE FAMILY BECAUSE IT COULD BE YOURS ONE DAY. INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT IT PRAY ABOUT IT…. FOR ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER MET TITUS, HIS FAMILY, KNOW HIS LIFE, YOU DON’T MATTER TO US……TITUS’ WELL-BEING IS OUR FIRST AND ONLY CONCERN. Thanks to everyone who understand what we are going through and those who are supporting him while the chips are down like you were when he was flying high. TITUS WILL BE ALRIGHT AND WE HIS FAMILY IS GOING TO MAKE SURE OF THAT AND GOD IN HEAVEN IS WATCHING OVER HIM…OUR FAITH BELIEVES THAT.

Fri, 31 May 2013 00:59:41 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2147416#comment-2566229all the “talent in the world” obviously doesn’t equal good decision making ability or mental health. don’t free titus. it sounds like he could use some regimentation in his life, and some accountability for the behavior. i’m not sure if there is such a thing as mental health/illness rehab. something like court ordered counseling while he’s incarcerated, would be worth trying, if his state will pay for it.

Sat, 25 May 2013 21:50:29 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2147416#comment-2557285We do not believe that Titus is a threat to society we believe that he may get hurt because of the sporadic behavior and by all means it is a hard choice for his family to live him in jail but we think it is best until he is moved to a treatment center. Please respect the family and not make ignorant remarks concerning his parents not caring this is very tough and hard on them as it would be on any parent. Why would we bail him out in his condition? We love Titus and that will never change….pray for our family instead of crucifying us in the press and on the internet

Sat, 25 May 2013 21:43:07 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2147416#comment-2557279I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and prayers for Titus and my family we are really having a rough time coming to grips with this but we believe that God will make a way. This is not a joking matter, it is a very serious matter and we would appreciate very much if you supported his parents and family by posting all of the derogatory and ignorant post when you really have no clue about what is truly going on, you are merely on the outside looking in but we know what we are dealing with and it is not easy. Pray for Titus and just how you would feel if it were you child or family member gong through this how would you deal with it. We are very hurt by the uncaring comments of some people but then again you don’t matter anyway. We are doing everything in our power to get Titus all of the help he needs and no he is not and never has been a bad kid, never been arrested before now ans was raised in the ghetto for those who want to know. Titus is not and addict as some of you commented and he needs your prayers and support. So the next time you want to get on the internet and shoot down someone who is unable to help themselves think that you reap what you sow and it might just be you next standing in the need of prayer….that right there

Sat, 25 May 2013 16:08:48 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2147416#comment-2556907So the thought process for the family is that they should leave him in prison because that’s where he’ll get the best mental health treatment? More like he’s not the golden goose anymore so they don’t feel like putting out money for him. It’s not that hard to request that the judge confine him to a mental health facility instead of federal pound me in the a** prison. Even if the judge doesn’t allow it, they will still have tried to get him mental health services. Leaving someone in prison because you want them to get treatment does not pass the smell test and everybody knows it.

HEs in court about toget 7 to 8 years and they want to use the fact that he is mentaly ill well, no better way to plead an insanity plea withuot backing it up he just went all in and if your going to do it do it right.

Sat, 25 May 2013 14:51:39 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2147416#comment-2556813A lot of us are making assumptions about Young, most commonly that he has a mental illness. While that is likely, none of us know since we haven’t met the kid nor are most of us professionals in that field.

The likely options:
1) Mental illness – If so, I hope he gets help and can right his life.
2) Drugs – Would likely have to be over the top to drive him to where he seems to be. Again, if this is the case, I hope he can get help and turn it around.
3) Prima donna jerkhole – It’s possible that he has just been so coddled his entire life as an athlete that he just feels society owes him something and he is just going to take it. If this is his problem, it is extremely difficult, but not impossible to fix.
4) Some combination or all three of the above.

I hope he can get help and get his life turned around, although the NFL is likely out of the picture now. But, if he can’t be helped so as to not be a danger to society, I hope he stays locked up.

this kid has got to be on something.. I have a hard time believing an emotional/mental disorder would not have created issues in college already. A heroin dependency would make sense

Sat, 25 May 2013 10:25:07 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2147416#comment-2556658Thinking you have a right to remain completely totally absolutely unequivocably silent in court is typical of the ‘logic’ you could conjure in a manic delirium to psychosis state. The attorneys may not have had much or any chance to meet or even have spoken with the apparently purely determinedly silent Young prior to appearing before the judge. Your thinking process(es) can very typically become “not right” in many ways. That’s true of many neurotransmitters pathways, neural structures like brain or limbic system, & most of the time your interconnected endocrine system(s) can send you off into bat$#!+ mood distortion zones & etc. Why do you think they call it mental ILLNESS?

If you’d blown out your pancreas by years of eating sugar & flour, fell out in a diabetic coma in the middle of traffic, people wouldn’t say you should get yourself back up & convince yourself to go to a doctor for what you might not have a clue was diabetes, yet that’s exactly what a large number of ‘serious’ responses back when Titus was demonstrated some classic mania sickness manifestations.

You’d ride an ambulance to the hospital & people would visit you & send you cards & flowers & pray for you & say aww geee too bad that he has to deal with diabetes now … & even though type II you probably with awareness could have changed your sugar/flour consumption to have avoided the illness altogether with proper diligence & responsibility.

The brain is an organ of the body. The pancreas is an organ of the body. When something goes physically wrong with any organ crap usually starts to go haywire in various ways, i.e. you start to display symptoms. Just so happens the brain organ is also by far both the most complex AND least understood of all the organs.

The fact that it basically runs the show for all the rest, including your ‘personality’ means people should have MORE compassion when you display symptoms & suffer from a brain sickness, not think that the falling down off the wall/chain symptoms you might display mean that you should have to figure out what’s happening yourself & then convince yourself to get treatment first in order to go get help.

Nobody judged diabetic guy when he had his coma & expected that he would have had to get himself up & only then internally dialogue his own ass on to the hospital all on his own … people just saw a ‘man down’ & hollered for the Hulk.

Yet when they see Titus Young here displaying pretty clear cut symptoms to the level of possibly needing intervention & they still holler for the Hulk … only to smash him unmercifully with scorn, harsh judgment & derision

Sat, 25 May 2013 09:37:05 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2147416#comment-2556648For those of you demanding he needs more from us than he’s already been given, get off your high horses. He had friends, family, agents, multiple NFL teams to sort out his issues. Don’t demand that from a public that already has been exposed to way too many of these cases. We come here to not only debate whose team is better, but to bring some levity to any situation – no matter how sad. Yes, he needs help, but his situation isn’t a one-time deal, he repeatedly was a menace to society. If all his support groups couldn’t fix him by now, I guess it’s up to the tax payers. If he truly is sick (not determined), then squeak at his support groups, not other football fans.

Sat, 25 May 2013 09:22:29 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2147416#comment-2556645” I don’t find depression, bipolar disorder, or any psychological problem to be funny in the least. Especially since we’ve recently seen the same tragic situations played out in America resulting loss of life. Would it still have been funny if Titus Young had killed somebody?

It’s funny how the American public can judge and turn their back on you once they see no use for you.

I just think the guy and his family needs support, not criticism right now”

Thank you. Reading some of these posts is almost as troubling as reading what Titus did. Some of the posts prove true the axiom, “being a free American means I have the right to be an idiot”.

There was no talk of one a month ago. How convenient . I guess all criminal behavior can be argued as some form of mental illness. What a joke. The society I live in has an illness.

So in other words, for $50,000, you can be a danger in the community!!

I will pray for Titus Young and his father, loved ones, and his victim of his crime.

Hopefully someone will get him help for his serious mental issues.

Titus Young’s age is the approximate age that people with mental health problems are diagnosed with schizophrenia.

It sounds that serious. And people do not take mental health that serious in this day and time, when they should.
